    What GEOlayer does is unimaginable and incredible, for a simple map with a small zoom & Animation, before GEOlayer, you had to download the map for hours and days, stitch it together and get a result that may be not very good result and It wasn't fun, but with GEOlayer it's like going from hell to heaven, unimaginable! It's true that the price is high, but in my opinion it's a masterpiece, well done Mr. Markus. I always wanted to hear Markus, this complex brain that found these ways etc. , the importance of GEOlayer and its complexity is its behind-the-scenes connection with hundreds of sites and maps that with one click you can jump from Microsoft to another place and hundreds of options and options, had at his disposal. I didn't go to school, university, etc., but I learned motion graphics by myself. before GEOlayer I made many map and animated it just for fun! after I bought GEOlayer and learned , the only description is like going from hell to heaven. Perhaps the only flaw, or rather the lack, which of course does not go back to Markus, is the lack of open source educational material, which explains some of the complexities well. For example, Element 3D has a book or PDF that is very complete, you can find the answer to almost anything in it. But GEOlayer lacks it. Of course, GEOlayer's complexity cannot be compared with Element 3D, GEOlayer is like an airplane and Element 3D is like a truck. I wish you would link some of Marcos's work on the TV channel that works, here. we could see and learn about Markos in the position of motion designer, his ideas, his work style, choices, etc. Thanks for this interview, I stumbled upon the link and am excited to see, listen and learn more from Marcus. I hope you will add a link to Markus's work, or at least introduce the TV station where we can watch Markus's work, follow him, and definitely learn a lot. I follow the work of Johnny Harris and Boone Loves Video and others, but seeing Architect behind GEOlayer work is something else! Thank you !

    Thank you for the detailed shownotes, which were very helpful. We can we download some sample 3D data to play with. I am very excited by the latest Pixstral Model and would love to see how it performs on 3D radar images. I might even set up a couple of LORAs using a bunch of Spot-The-Difference and Hidden Object exercises. Have you used similar techniques?

    I'm not a fan of mass-deployment of satellites. For instance I think StarLink and the likes are an abomination. Orbital space is a scarce resource, and should be treated as such. Kind of like helium - every kid's helium balloon I see makes me sad, to waste a scarce resource on something short-sighted.

    The renders really bothered me although I do realize they are just an 'artistic' representation. 1. The solar panels should face the sun. 2. The camera should face the earth. 3. The 'circle' would be impossible to maintain for a full orbit. 4. They are too close together, risking collisions.
